RV 10 Basic V Rotary Evaporators

Overview

The RV 10 basic is the entry level model into the IKA RV 10 Rotary Evaporator line. It comes equipped with a new universal heating bath, space-saving vertical glassware as well as state-of-the-art safety features. The RV 10 basic is a robust and reliable lab companion. Its optimized bath volume allows for fast heat-up times. The condenser unit has specially designed glass tubes that utilize the 1500 cm² surface extremely efficient. That’s why the RV 10 basic delivers reliable and reproducible process results usually seen on much more costly systems. Additional features such as smooth start, left-right interval or timer function capability support the user in their daily lab work. Another important aspect of the RV 10 basic are the sophisticated safety features. The motorized lift has an automated lift-out function in case of power outage to prevent superheating of the solvent. Safety temperature circuits can be set individually. Dry-run protection, adjustable lower end stop and lock function of bath setting complete the line of safety features. Furthermore, IKA offers a choice of coated glassware for increased safety needs.

In summary, the entry level RV 10 basic has all the features for smart, safe and affordable distillation.
All models include a set of glassware, either vertical standard or with a dry ice condenser. Glassware is available in standard version or coated for shatter protection. All models come with an IKA HB 10 heating bath.

FAQ

What is included in the glassware sets?

Glassware sets include the specified condenser (either a dry ice condenser or a vertical coiled condenser) a 1 liter evaporating flask, 1 liter receiving flask, and a Woulff bottle.

If I purchase a glassware set that is coated for shatter protection, which items are coated?

The evaporating flask and receiving flask will be coated.

Is the RV 10 Basic V certified by UL?

Yes, it is UL listed.

What is the minimum vacuum that the RV 10 system can handle?

With coated glassware, a pressure of 1 mbar is possible. Note that all vacuum connections must be vacuum tight or else a pressure this low will not be achievable. Most vacuum pumps do not create vacuums down to 1 mbar, so the vacuum pump will usually be the limiting factor.
